<p><b>State of NASA event at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on Monday, Feb. 2</b><br />
<br />
On Monday, Feb. 2 NASA Marshall invited social media followers to an in-person State of NASA event. The event included a tour of the center which showcased highlights of the work Marshall is doing on the Space Launch System, NASA’s new heavy lift rocket. Another tour segment included the development and maintenance on the advanced life support systems on the International Space Station, as well as the life support systems that could be used on future exploration missions to Mars and other deep space destinations.<br />

Interior View From the International Space Station Cupola<br />
<br />
This image of the interior view from the International Space Station's Cupola module was taken on Jan. 4, 2015. The large bay windows allows the Expedition 42 crew to see outside. The Cupola houses one of the space station's two robotic work stations used by astronauts to manipulate the large robotic arm seen through the right window. The robotic arm, or Canadarm2, was used throughout the construction of the station and is still used to grapple visiting cargo vehicles and assist astronauts during spacewalks. The Cupola is attached to the nadir side of the space station and also gives a full panoramic view of the Earth.<br />

<p><b>This Day In History - Jan 8, 1815: </b><br />
Two weeks after the War of 1812 officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, U.S. General Andrew Jackson achieves the greatest American victory of the war at the Battle of New Orleans.<br />

The space shuttle Enterprise after its 1984 arrival in New Orleans. A NASA web site recalls the obstacles involved in the shuttle's 1984 trip to the World's Fair site in New Orleans, namely how on Earth to get the spaceship to the riverfront in one piece.<br />
<br />
&quot;Every now and then, when you work for NASA, you might become involved in an assignment that is a little unusual compared to your normal duties,&quot; recalled NASA swing arm engineer Ken Fore. &quot;Such an opportunity became available to me during my career when NASA decided to put the Orbiter Enterprise on display at the fair.&quot;<br />
<br />
The Enterprise, which never made it into space, was used to demonstrate the ability of orbiters to maneuver and land after reentering the Earth's atmosphere. After the shuttle fleet started flying actual missions, the Enterprise was retired to public relations duties, including the six months on display in New Orleans.<br />
<br />
&quot;That's when the fun part started,&quot; Fore recalled on the NASA web site, &quot;trying to figure out how to get a 165,000-pound, 122-foot-long Shuttle Orbiter with a 78-foot wing span to downtown New Orleans and place it on a display at the World's Fair.&quot;<br />
<br />
NASA decided a trip by barge was the best solution.</p>Thu, 08 Jan 2015 06:56:36 -08002015-01-08T08:48:28-08:00nobody@flickr.com (NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center)tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/15608313374Shuttle Enterprise in 1984<p><b>This Day In History - Jan 8, 1815: </b><br />
